After Gu Guan, the patient could stand up, sit, and squat with only a bruised sensation. After the insertion of Mu Guan, all of the pain in her hip and buttock were completely gone. She could still feel a little pain around her ovarian cyst. After the insertion of Zhong Guan, she was pain free.

During the 3rd treatment, she told me that she started her period after the second treatment. Her pain level was tolerable enough to be able to go to work with intensity of pain having gone down to 2/10. During that week, she had a few flare-ups of buttock pain but not enough to disrupt her sleep.

She was pain-free after the fourth treatment. She started to exercise with her friend twice a week and she is now feeling amazing. She now comes for treatment once a month to make sure she stays pain free.
